Re: Gibson Florentine/EM-200 with intonation adjustable bridge
The original saddle on the EM200 is stainless steel with angled string slots.
Harsh-sounding to my ear and not possible to re-cut for proper intonation.
As well, the string-spacing is much narrower than it needs to be and cannot
be altered.
I had brass saddles machined to match the original in appearance but with
straight slots that are spread wider. Very sweet sounding and in tune.
